    Mga sir hello po!...bale newbie lang ako pag dating sa mga sasakyan...ive been driving for 6 months....Im using xcs pag sa pertron, gold pag sa caltex and super premium pag sa shell...yun kasi advice ng officemate at friend ko.

    I ask them kung ok lng ba na mag karga ako ng gas na lower yung octane rating kagaya ng mga silver at mga unleaded (kasi mas cheaper). Sabi nila sa aking wag daw kasi hihina yung hatak which is totoo...pero yung isa pa na sabi nila sa akin magkakaprob daw ako sa makina, magloloko daw.Kung gusto ko daw na mag lagay ng mga ganung gas, dapat drain ko muna daw yung gas tank ko..bago magkarga ng mga lower octane.

    Tama ba advice nila or pwedeng magkarga kahit may laman pa na iba? Masama ba na paiba iba ng brand ng gas? Base kasi sa experience ko ok ang takbo ng sasakyan at consumo ng gas ko pag caltex gold at petron xcs gamit ko...

    Pasensya na po sa pagkaignorante ko..hehehe! Sana may magreply...Thanks in advance...

    That's not all true, your engine will not breakdown if u use a lower octane gasoline unless your car has a specified minimum octane to use. Sa akin Shell's V power works for me. But my advice is that as much as possible use 1 type of gasoline only, if you like the way your car runs on a XCS then thats the gas for u.. but test the top of the line from shell, caltex first, then pakiramdaman mo.

    not true unless the manual specifies that you use a minimum RON. most cars can run on 93 RON. others like the german requires 95 RON.

    regarding hatak you can decide which gas can give the most butt hp it can give you. not all cars react to the same kind of fuel, even the same ones.
